Waldorf Astoria Orlando - Orlando

Awarded to hotels that receive a rating of at least 4.5 out of 5 from verified British Airways Holidays customers that have travelled in the last year.

Overview

Other facilities

The Championship Rees Jones-designed course includes some of the best elements of every championship course from the past 100 years with carefully design touches, like cypress trees lining its fairways and a five-tee system to accommodate golfers of every calibre.

The full-service Waldorf Astoria Spa features signature treatments using locally produced honey. The spa is also one of a handful of luxury US resorts housing a Himalayan salt cave. The hotel’s signature cabana pool offers cabanas (depending on room type) that include a flat-screen TV, fans, snacks, and drinks. It's best to pre-book.

Keep trim at its 372 m2 fitness centre and use some of the latest equipment including Peloton bikes. There are also plenty of jogging and biking trails on site – bikes can be hired for a local charge.

Children also enjoy access to the lazy river and waterslides at the neighbouring Signia by Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek. Meanwhile, the on-site kids’ clubs (from age 2 to 12 years old) run morning, afternoon and evening sessions and offer anything from crafts to beginners scuba for a fee. There’s even an after dark club (until 21:00) meaning parents can try the legendary Bull and Bear, while kids toast marshmallows under the stars. Gather afterwards in time to watch the nightly Disney fireworks light up the sky.

Dining information

Begin your day with breakfast at Oscar’s, where gourmet eggs benedict and cold-pressed juices are served alongside an opulent buffet. Otherwise, grab La Colombe coffees, pastries and sandwiches to-go at Park Avenue Café.

Throughout the day, grab casual fare, snacks, and cocktails at the poolside Aquamarine. For those out on the green, food and drinks are available at the 19th hole at Clubhouse Grille. Then for dinner choose from casual plates and charcuteries at the indulgent Art Deco-style Peacock Alley, or head to Bull & Bear Steakhouse. Admire handsome wood panelling and views of the pool and golf course, whilst you savour steak and seafood. Don’t miss out on its iconic fried chicken and chateaubriand for two. Otherwise, opt for the jacket potato, caviar and gold leaf.

You’ll find additional dining options available at Signia by Hilton Orlando. This includes contemporary Italian cuisine at La Luce, Pan Asian at Zeta Asia, light bites and drinks at Myth Bar, al fresco poolside fare at Beech and coffee, tea and sweet treats at the 24-hour Muse.
